If you need Powerpoint, Excel, and Word, just get iWork. It exports to all MS Office filetypes and it takes about 5 seconds to crack the trial.

iWork is nice and all, but OpenOffice is entirely free and has most all the capabilities of MS Office.

Okay, It's not like I need Access and Publisher and all that shit. I didn't pay for iWork, and OpenOffice uses X11

$500 WORD PROCESSING

If all you do is use Word, then I agree, it is too expensive.

But if you use all the programs, and you need them professional (as in for a job) MS Office is way better than Open Office.  MS Office has better collaborative features and stuff, and Microsoft has much better support.

But, again Open Office is good enough for most people.

NeoOffice?

I guess but its kind of unstable
